Advisory

How do MPH students stay balanced and confident?

During the critical Middle School years, students transform from children into young teenagers—sometimes at a breathtaking pace. We know these transitions can be stressful as well as thrilling, so we provide a thoughtfully planned advisory program to support your child’s social, emotional, and academic wellness as she proceeds through her MPH journey.

Beginning in Middle School, we connect your child with a faculty advisor who meets with her and fellow advisees regularly to discuss events at school and in the world. As her relationship with her advisor grows and deepens, your child knows she can turn to this trusted mentor with personal as well as academic questions.

Throughout her Upper School career, your child connects daily with her faculty advisor and engages in weekly Advisory activities, which help her stay focused, balanced, and confident as she takes on the increased demands of high school. And as she prepares for life beyond graduation, our Advisory program nurtures her compassion and commitment to citizenship, wherever her next steps take her.

“Advisory is a time set aside for students to reflect on and discuss with their advisor the key attitudes and strategies that will help them grow, become better students, and participate actively in this community.” – Advisory Mission
